Daily Dialogue — Septebmer 21, 2011

— Carl Fredericksen (Ed Asner), Ellie (Elie Docter), Up (2009), screenplay by Bob Peterson and Pete Docter, story by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson & Thomas McCarthy

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is non-verbal ‘dialogue’ suggested by Saint. Up suggested by Jack Brandtman.

Trivia: If Carl’s house was approximately 1600 square feet, and the average house weighs between 60–100 pounds per square foot, it weighs 120,000 pounds. If the average helium balloon can carry .009 pounds (or 4.63 grams), it would take 12,658,392 balloons to lift his house off the ground. (20,622 balloons appear on the house when it first lifts off.)

Dialogue On Dialogue: Perhaps no part of any contemporary American movie demonstrates the power of visual cinema more than this sequence
